their best friend made out of poodle fluff. This brings together all the things

that matter most to Marko: playfulness, sustainability, the pleasures of up-
cycling old treasures into new delights and his passion for dogs.

Currently he is deeply inspired by the Light House’s lamp fixtures such as
cut glass or crystal chandelier drops and decorative brass attachments.
These he is whipping up into unique belts some made of antique brocade,
book binding leather or denim, that he creates with Cingular the royal belt
maker.
